Case 3: two sides and an opposite angle given (SSA). The sine rule gives C and then we have Case 7. There are either one or two solutions. Case 4: two angles and an included side given (ASA). The four-part cotangent formulae for sets (cBaC) and (BaCb) give c and b, then A follows from the sine rule. Case 5: two angles and an opposite side given ...

The regular pentagon has Dih 5 symmetry, order 10. Since 5 is a prime number there is one subgroup with dihedral symmetry: Dih 1, and 2 cyclic group symmetries: Z 5, and Z 1. These 4 symmetries can be seen in 4 distinct symmetries on the pentagon. John Conway labels these by a letter and group order. [10]
where is the maximum intensity of the pattern at the Airy disc center, is the Bessel function of the first kind of order one, = / is the wavenumber, is the radius of the aperture, and is the angle of observation, i.e. the angle between the axis of the circular aperture and the line between aperture center and observation point.
